Sixty-six patients have been treated with Panax Ginseng C.A. Meyer extract, of whom 30 oligoastenospermic sine causa (group A), 16 oligoastenospermic with idiopathic varicocele (group B). Twenty age-matched volunteers were used as controls (group C). Use of Panax Ginseng extract showed an increase in spermatozoa number/ml and progressive oscillating motility, an increase in plasma total and free testosterone, DHT, FSH and LH levels, but a decrease in mean PRL. It is suggested that ginsenosides may have an effect at different levels of the hypothalamus-pituitary-testis axis.
66例患者接受了人参提取物治疗,其中30例为不明原因的少精子症患者(A组),16例为特发性精索静脉曲张导致的少精子症患者(B组)。选取20名年龄匹配的志愿者作为对照(C组)。使用人参提取物后,每毫升精液中的精子数量及进行性摆动活力增加,血浆总睾酮、游离睾酮、双氢睾酮、促卵泡生成素和促黄体生成素水平升高,但泌乳素平均水平降低。提示人参皂苷可能在下丘脑-垂体-睾丸轴的不同水平发挥作用。
